SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, April 10, 1915:

"Uncle Ned volunteers to care for little Helen and Lawrence while his sister is away. The children lead their dignified relative a lively dance. The things that happen to him remind one of the pranks a couple of clowns in a circus might play on a third, unfortunate member. And the climax comes when, seeing uncle open his safe to take out some papers, the youngsters call in the police. Uncle Ned is so surprised that he puts up a fight and gets the worst of it. At last the tangle is straightened out - and the children are packed off to their mother."
